SSC CPO 2024 PYQ — Question 104

SSC CPO - 27 June 2024 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q104

If tanθ=310tan\theta = {{3} \over 10} then find the value of (1+sinθ)(1−sinθ)(1+cosθ)(1−cosθ).{{(1+sin\theta)(1-sin\theta)} \over (1+cos\theta)(1-cos\theta)}.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 1009 {{100} \over 9}.

Given that

tanθ=310tan\theta = {{3} \over 10}

Formula used 

sin2θ + cos2θ = 1

Therefore,

(1+sinθ)(1−sinθ)(1+cosθ)(1−cosθ){{(1+sin\theta)(1-sin\theta)} \over (1+cos\theta)(1-cos\theta)} = 1 - sin2θ / 1 - cos2θ

⇒ cos2θ / sin2θ

⇒ cot2θ

Since tanθ = 310\frac{3}{10}, cotθ = 103\frac{10}{3} 

Hence, cot2θ = 1009\frac{100}{9}.
